Filtration advice needed
Is a HOB filter enough for my 29 gal tank? 1 royal gramma, 1 damsel, mushrooms, and zoas. Also have a mini skimmer

Don't forget, everything that's submerged will function as a filter. It's basically up to you not to "muck" it up so to say. JMO. GL.

Overfeeding is one thing, (I'm getting fatter & fatter) siphoning might be another. (this can disrupt stuff) In certain cases, sometimes the best thing to do is nothing at all. Were all "hobbyists." I'm pretty good at ping pong, but I can't play tennis 4 $h!t... I hope this makes sence... GL. Last edited by cloak; 02/19/2013 at 05:41 PM. |

Finding a "routine" can be tricky sometimes...
